**Note- I would NOT add water to the coconut milk when you first blend the can. If you add water when you blend the can and when you make the recipe, it will be too watery.

I usually hate stevia or any type of artificial sweetener, just because of the taste alone, but xylitol has no weird aftertaste like the others. I encourage you to give it a shot, or just use a spoonful of regular sugar, coconut sugar, maple syrup or honey.

This recipe is full of antioxidant power from the cocoa powder. It’s one of the most antioxidant rich foods available, actually. It’s particularly known to help reduce blood pressure, when eaten on a regular basis. The coconut milk provides healthy, easy to burn fats, that are beneficial for your brain and your waistline!

I’m sure you’re going to ask me, so I will write just a few things about xylitol below. See more HERE on sugar replacement safety.

Xylitol is a sugar alcohol, which exists naturally in many fruits. Prunes have a high level of xylitol, which is why they make you poop!

Hence, if you eat too much xylitol at once, you will be running for the bathroom. The amount in this recipe is very small. I don’t imagine it would cause issues for most, but some can be extremely sensitive to it.
